How do the Stillmans do date night when baby Stillman has yet to appear? Well, we hit up Red Robin and Coldstone Creamery, of course! And seeing as how my wardrobe is somewhat limited these days (beating a dead horse, I am aware), this is what a very pregnant lady wears to said date night.

But, the truth is, as much as I actually, genuinely love this outfit, I just felt a little sassier having taken the time to “do” my hair and makeup for an evening.

I’ve said it a thousand times and I’ll say it again, the littlest things (like an awesome new lip gloss and a little bit of bronzer) really can make you FEEL better.

And to answer your question: yes, I am clearly still pregnant. 41 weeks today. And that’s OKAY. It’s in God’s hands, y’all.

…but on that note, if I hear one more person say, “Baby Stillman will come when Baby Stillman is ready” I may lose my dang mind. šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚

I should compile a list of things NOT to say to a late-preggo lady. That would be fun! šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚

But in all seriousness, your words of encouragement mean the world to me, you guys. For real.

  10. Haha, that should be your next post!

    Okay, so I might be risking sounding redundant (to you), but have you tried doing some yoga to maybe get things moving along? With my second child, he was a day late and I was all “GET OUTTA MAH BELLY,” so I did a prenatal yoga dvd and there was a hip rotation movement that I swear (I SWEAR) started contractions for me. You sit cross-legged on the floor and rotate your hips in a circular motion. They’ve actually don’t recommend preggos doing it before 36 weeks because it kind of moves the baby into position for birth or something. Anyways! So, I did it and contractions started immediately (seriously, rock hard contractions) and kept on until he was born 8 hours later šŸ™‚

    Just a thought! And if you’ve already heard too many suggestions of this nature, I apologize!!! Just ignore!! šŸ™‚

  13. I hear ya, Molly! The waiting is hard. I’m just about 39 weeks and for various reasons it would be terrible timing if I were to go overdue, including the fact that my husband starts university again in a couple weeks :p So it’s hard not to get anxious about it. Oh, what a journey of trusting God this whole motherhood thing is already!!

  15. You have such a healthy attitude about the due date; I wish I had been that patient and trusting when I was pregnant. You’re a real inspiration and I think you’ll be a wonderful mama!

  18. You are seriously one of the CUTEST pregnant ladies ever! Your skin is seriously glowing. I know you must be ready to hold and snuggle your little baby! Keeping you in my thoughts!

  21. Haha you really SHOULD compile a list of things not to say to someone who is pregnantā€“that’d be so funny! That being said, you’re totally glowing and I’m glad you got to sneak in a date night (that’s on the list of things TO say, right? šŸ˜‰ haha).

  22. What about “Baby Stillman will come the moment you make concrete plans on a specific day next week that you are super genuinely excited about!”? Because that’s what would happen to me. Lookin’ great as always!

  23. You look great! My first son came at 37wks, second son at 42 wks and my daughter came at 40 wks and two days… each child comes in their own time. Take lots of walks and just keep doing what you’re doing. You’re doing a great job!

  26. Kristi was reading an article the other day – wish I could cite the source on this, it might relieve some of your concerns – which said that new research is suggesting that the traditional “40 Week Pregnancy” is really an arbitrary average, and that pregnancy can naturally vary by up to five weeks. I know the idea of carrying around Baby Stillman for another month has about zero appeal for you, but just be reassured you aren’t alone. My sister – in – law carried our niece for an extra two weeks, and she was scheduled to be induced before Aria finally decided to show up, healthy and ready to be born. Kristi’s best friend has had three children, who were all born one to three weeks after their “Due Dates” – and the guesswork about due dates involves some highly suspect math, if you ask me, because we can never be certain exactly when the child was conceived to begin with, and 40 weeks does sound pretty arbitrary. It’s a natural process. It will take as long as it takes, and you are being gracious and patient about it, and that’s about all you can do. As long as the experts are confident that Baby Stillman is healthy and happy in there, what’s to worry about?
